ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has ordered restoration of all Geo TV channels on their actual position within 24 hours, according to a press statement issued by the regulatory body on Monday.
Taking notice of the suspension of licensed TV channels in different parts of the country, the PEMRA stated that it has not ordered suspension or change of position of any channel. “Suspension of any licensed TV channel is a violation of PEMRA rules, hence all the cable operators are informed to ensure transmission of channels licensed by the PEMRA on cable TV networks,” the statement read.
The regulatory body has also kicked off action against cable operators involved in violation of its rules, it added. It directed cable operators to restore all Geo TV channels on their actual position within 24 hours, warning that in case of non-compliance it would revoke licenses under Section 30 of the PEMRA Ordinance.
A day ago, Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal had expressed concerns over the suspension of Geo News and other channels of the group.
